Code Word: Annilation!!!!

Hello Brewfeeders,

This is your hostess with the mostess. I’m coming at you again with a book you must have at your fingertips. Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer is a book to reckon with. If you seen the movie scratch it. The book is nothing like the movie. I’m all about artists being creative, even innovative towards their craft but the main character in Annihilation wasn’t a gun toting individual.

However, let’s get back to the book topic. Annihilation  is a good read. The descriptive sense floored me with the intricacy.   A place of unknown where others have traveled makes a  heart skip a beat both with trepidation and excitement thus the main character is enthralled. Why not? I would.

X is what they call this place that is gradually taking over a part of the town’s area. It is a habitat of unknown, a spook place where people speak in undertones about a site in which things aren’t “normal.”It is a slab of land  where people go missing. In fact, many squads of military go into this new found area and are consumed by it. Everyone has a different experience and are swallowed by the environment one way or another.

This is where many people have stomped their feet and if you have nothing to lose then why not?  You have nothing and nothing to give. This is where Jeff takes you. Your brain will splatter with effect reading this book on the travels with this character. You will question the nature of your relationship with friends and family with this being said do you dare to go on the flipside  as I have? Make it worth the chance.

Keep on Brewin!

From the Woods she Calls

 This is a drawing I’ve been working on. I haven’t inked her in but it is a work in progress. I’ve talked about drawing and writing my own things, yet I haven’t posted any of my art. So here we are a rough draft of the spirit of the forest. She is the keeper of secrets long since forgotten. She is full mischievousness ready to lead you on to a path you aren’t ready for. Fly or fall its your choice, if you dare. Catch her if you can, I’m game are you?

Year One, Apocalyptic

Hello All!

Yes, it’s been months since I blogged about anything. I did do a video for New Years albeit short and playful. However, I took a break but now yours truly is back to doing what she does best blog, find good eats and drink coffee by the pot full.

Today, I wanted to dive in and talk about Nora Roberts new book The Chronicles of the One: Year One. Now, I’ve been reading Nora Roberts novels for a lonnnnng time, back when she had romance novels and didn’t have her pin name J.D. Robb. I feel like I can say that I’m attuned to her rhythm in story telling. Year One however, pulled the rug out from under me in places, good story telling has twists and turns for the reader to devour.

The story starts off with a bang with an apocalypse in which, sorry guys no zombies here, the worldwide population succumbs to a change either your body rejects it and you die or you get super natural abilities. During this change the population is not only decimated but alliances are formed, bad people run a muck, and through it all a group of people find each other on their journey to a safe haven. There are more plot twists and enjoyed reading the point of view of the different characters. I like seeing the different perspectives and not just one character’s viewpoint.  It’s a must read in my opinion and I look forward to the second installment which is Of Blood and Bone, this book goes on sale December 04, 2018.
